Udea fumipennis is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Warren in 1892. It is found on the Galapagos Islands.
Adults are similar to Fumibotys fumalis, but smaller and the forewings are narrower, more vinous-coloured and the direction of the first line is more oblique. It is however mainly distinguished by the hindwings, which are wholly suffused with dark fuscous hairy scales.
